AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Nell and the rest of her high school theater friends are on their way to their first weekend competition against other theater groups – until the snow makes their teacher insist on pulling over at the next available inn. When another group of kids shows up, they try to make the best of the situation and have fun. Fun quickly turns to fear with a story of murder, a Ouija board, and a missing guest.
The pages were a blur as I tried to get through them faster and faster. Henry had me hooked from the moment they got stranded, watching as the tension started to build with every little thing that could be out of place, every little thing that could be a clue to the perpetrator. Some of the red herrings were off-putting, but, overall, the murder mystery was enjoyable and wrapped up well.
Nell, along with most of the characters are implied white. Raven is described as Black, Dev mentions his Indian heritage, and some of the minor characters are Hispanic. The mature content rating is for innuendo, underage drinking, mention of drug use, and sexual harassment. The violence rating is for blood, mention of suicide, hanging, and murder.
